Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I am very happy with Dr Blau however extremely frustrated with difficulty in scheduling or rescheduling appointments. Don’t get call backs for several days but am always told will call me that day & can pretty much count on appointment being changed at least once. This causes me anxiety & frustration. I also would like to be informed if I am not seeing the Dr for an appointment but the nurse instead which could possibly be handled by phone. Carol Vandver

Dr. Blau is so incredible. She knows all the ins and outs of each patients case and will do everything in her power to get you the right treatment. She has been such a blessing to me and my family during my cancer journey and I can’t not say enough good things about her, and her staff.

I LOVE this woman. She is the most caring dedicated medical professional I have ever met. She makes you feel like you are in good hands and everything is going to be ok. She feels more like family than a doctor. I am alive because of Dr. Blau and her team. Some people gripe that her wait times are long. They are but the reason is she is saving someone's life. She not out having coffee. She is making sure someone else is getting what they need now. She doesn't just tell you your 15 minutes are up and sends you on your way. She really cares and has complete follow through. I have waited long wait times before but I also have been the one holding up the line. Your not complaining when it is you that needs the help that might take awhile to get. She is one of the smartest people I have ever met. Her dedication has no bounds. I just wonder when she sleeps. She is always on the go.

Never on time for a single appointment. If you have appointment at 1:30PM and the doctor sees you around 3:00PM and offers not one reason as to why we waited. Very unprofessional in my opinion. She may be good at what she does, but have the bedside manor of a Cyberdyne Systems Model 101. The one thing that really pisses me off (yes Im going there) it feels like she abandoned my wife. We have not heard a word from her in nearly two months and perhaps its time for her to retire from the medical field.

Since moving here in 2011, I have been searching for a good Oncologist. I found a great one in Dr. Blau. She took her time examining and speaking with me on my first visit. Very thorough, conscientious and caring. She rocks! All of her staff does as well. I didn't mind the wait time because she takes the time needed with everyone.

This is my third time of Breast Cancer. I had been at another Oncologist since my most recent diagnosis. I was not satisfied with my experience and one of my co workers kept suggesting Dr. Blau. I learned more from the type of breast cancer I have in my first meeting with her then in the 18 years of having cancer. I think she is simply brillant when it comes to breast cancer. Dr. Blau is compassionate, always thinking of the next strategy, and takes the time to provide awesome patient care

I've been a patient for 14 years, I am in remission from Muptiple Myeloma, but just diagnosed with MDS, will be starting a new round of Treatment in the next week. There is no one I trust more than Dr. Blau with my life. I know she really cares about me, and watches my test results like they were her own.
